Ignoring Hatch objects when using running Object snaps *Applies to: AutoCAD 2005*
AutoCAD 2005 introduces many new drafting
enhancements. One of these drafting enhancements is the ability
to control whether or not running Object Snaps are affected or can act
on Hatch objects. Autodesk introduced the system variable
OSNAPHATCH to control this behavior which can dramatically speed up
the process selecting points on screen. This can be controlled
by typing in the system variable at the command line as show below or
by following the steps.
Step 1 -
Select Options from the Tools pull-down.
Step 2 -
Select the Drafting tab near the top of the
Options dialog box.
Step 3 -
Under the Object Snap Options section is the
Ignore hatch options. Place a checkmark next to it to
have Hatch objects ignored with running Object Snaps and remove
the check mark it to allow legacy Object Snap behavior for
Hatch objects.
0 (OFF) -
Ignores Hatch objects when selecting points
with running Object Snaps turned on.
1 (ON) -
Hatch objects are not ignored with running
Object Snaps turned on and is then legacy behavior of AutoCAD
2004 and prior.
Command Line:
Command: osnaphatch
Enter new value for OSNAPHATCH <0>: 1
